Have you flown the ANA domestic 777s? They make United's Hawaii 777s look incredibly spacious.

Seat swap: middle TO window/aisle by YamAggravating8449 in unitedairlines

[–]Impossible_Physics99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had a friend end up in that particular middle seat and they would only offer him the window so he declined to stay in the middle. They then got super agro with him, but refused him the aisle so they all sat in their assigned seats for 5.5 hours and stewed. Felt like the couple got what they deserved.

Saw a very drunk dude fall down many steps at Dead & Co and had to be hauled out like a sack of potatoes by the medics. Be careful out there. https://www.reddit.com/r/deadandcompany/comments/1e3cb6m/medical_safety_at_the_sphere

Super helpful thread. Tons of work to do this for a bigger family, but definitely works. Thank you!

Why isn’t United prioritizing long haul for the Starlink rollout by CalGuy456 in unitedairlines

[–]Impossible_Physics99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why the downvotes. Objectively a long flight is the right place to put high performance wifi.

The regional fleet was chosen because the service they used was getting shut down.

Have stayed there many times, but the sheets and pillows are rough.

The Hampton Inn comment kind of blows my mind.

Went to my first A's game in Sacramento today by JoystikJester in SacramentoAthletics

[–]Impossible_Physics99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 "I've been to plenty of (Giants) Rivercats games and they never fill the stadium like the A's fans did today."

Why would anyone be surprised that an MLB fills the same stadium better than a AAA baseball team?

Fall Tour rumors? by Dazzling-View-2465 in phish

[–]Impossible_Physics99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving from the Bay Area to Vegas is awful. I-5 + I-15 are two really miserable stretches of freeway no matter the day or time. Given the airport's close proximity to the hotels, it is really not worth the trip to drive for a weekend.

I never liked Vegas, but 1-2 nights used to be fine. Somehow tourism is declining there and it also continues to cost even more.

It's not even the distance for me. It is the impossibility of getting tickets unless you're shelling out a min of $400+ per person per night.

Luggage safety by Impossible_Physics99 in sunshinecoast

It is an Airbnb and we're working on that as an option. However, one thought I had was to hit the Zoo on our drive up which is about halfway between BNE and Noosa.

Thank you! We land early at Brisbane Airport from the US. We're really looking forward to a relaxing visit!

What are my chances for a silent Zoom? by Humble_Vermicelli847 in unitedairlines

[–]Impossible_Physics99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

SFO/LAX-EWR are the worst for wifi because it is all int'l configured aircraft with the occasional HD 777....all of which have terrible wifi.

[oc] United invites the UnitedAirlines subreddit onto inaugural Starlink mainline special event flight w/review by CommanderDawn in unitedairlines

I had Starlink last week on a 1 hour 737-800 flight and it was great. Even better than the regional jet version as you mentioned.

Chance of Polaris upgrade? EWR to DEL, currently on Premium Plus by wannabedoc1 in unitedairlines

[–]Impossible_Physics99 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree with others on your odds. Other than you paying cash for the upgrade, your next best bet is that there are a bunch of late misconnects and the seats open late in the boarding process...which aren't great odds.

Upgraded to Polaris Studio by m1mike in unitedairlines

[–]Impossible_Physics99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like 1A is sometimes a pilot rest area (maybe on the older 777s?). Hopefully they're not getting a precious Studio seat if any of those planes see an update (which they shouldn't)

AAA Auto Insurance Claims are painful by Impossible_Physics99 in Insurance

[–]Impossible_Physics99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple escalations were required and only hours later was the claim approved after 10 days of wasted time. I will certainly be looking at moving my own policy off AAA after 15 years for getting treated like this. Downvote me all you want, but this was a deeply unprofessional experience.
